From Job Seeker to Job Creator ft. Er. Brijesh Prasad Gupta | Engineer को कथा- 155

From Job Seeker to Job Creator Meet Brijesh Prasad Gupta, a visionary tech entrepreneur and an alumnus of Kantipur Engineering College, who is rewriting the rules of cloud communication and telecom infrastructure in South Asia. Deeply embedded in the tech ecosystem since 2016, Brijesh and his team at AakashTech successfully shattered the reliance on expensive foreign software monopolies by building Nepal’s first completely homegrown Interactive Voice Response (IVR) platform. Today, as the mastermind behind AakashTel, he has scaled the platform to serve over 9,000 active businesses—including major players in BFSI, education, and healthcare. Under his leadership, the platform processes a staggering 9.5 million SMS messages and over 133,000 minutes of voice calls monthly, sustaining an incredible 20% month-over-month growth rate. Driven by an engineering mindset, Brijesh is currently leading the charge on integrating cutting-edge AI automation (AI Agentic Agents & Engage 360 AI) to transform how emerging-market businesses interact with their customers 24/7. In this episode, we dive deep into his inspiring transition from a Pulchowk engineer to a tech CEO, the engineering hurdles of scaling infrastructure in Nepal, and his grand master plan to expand AakashTel into India and the global market as the ultimate communication operating system.
